Analytical Modeling and Equivalent Electromechanical Loading Techniques for Adaptive Laminated Piezoelectric Structures
… finite element programs support piezoelectric modeling and composite modeling to some extent. The popular program ABAQUS, however, has piezoelectric modeling capabilities only for continuum and one-dimensional truss elements. In situations where aspect ratio constraints and computational …

Multiscale micromechanical modeling of the thermal/mechanical properties of polymer/clay nanocomposites
Polymer/clay nanocomposites have been observed to exhibit enhanced thermal/mechanical properties at low weight fractions (We) of clay. Continuum-based composite modeling reveals that the enhanced properties are strongly dependent on particular features of the second-phase "particles"; in …

Creep properties of source rocks using indentation : the role of organic matter on texture and creep rates
… rocks. To isolate the porous organic-rich clay composites, we adopt elaborate methodology that uses the mechanical properties probed with the indentation technique, chemistry obtained from spectroscopy, and chemo-mechanical clustering analysis. We characterize the nanoscale mechanical properties …

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Interphase and Dispersion Effects on the Mechanical Stiffness of Cellulose Nanocomposites
… on the elastic behavior of cellulose nanocomposites was investigated using a number of composite models, experimental data and a thorough literature review. Cellulose nanocomposites consisting of soy protein isolate (SPI) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) or polydopamine coated cellulose …
